Now reading Zarathustra, i would say:
you don't need interpretations anymore,
it can be seen right away.
When he attacks the Hinterweltlern, all those
fleeing for, cursing the sensuous, before meeting
and evt. thinking it to the end: if you deny
sensuousness, it will shine through in everything
you do and say.
"The houndess sensuousness / die Huendin Sinnlichkeit."

Are you a slave? Then you cannot be a friend.
Are you a tyrant? Then you cannot have friends.
Far too long has there been a slave and a tyrant concealed
in woman. On that account woman is not yet capable of friendship:
she knows only love.
In woman's love there is injustice and blindness to all she doth
not love. And even in woman's knowing love, there is still
always surprise and lightning and night, along with the light.
As yet woman is not capable of friendship: women are still cats,
and birds. Or at the best, cows.
As yet woman is not capable of friendship. But tell me, you men,
who of you are capable of friendship?
[it is *here* that we get closest to feminization, with the men!-rdb]
Oh! your poverty, you men, and your sordidness of soul!
As much as you give to your friend, will I give even to my enemy,
and will not have become poorer thereby.
There is comradeship: may there be friendship!
Thus spake Zarathustra.
Friendship. Hoelderlin: Die Freundlichkeit (charis, Dionysos)
"Darf, wenn lauter Mühe das Leben,
ein Mensch aufschauen und
sagen, so will ich auch sein?
Ja. Solange die Freundlichkeit noch
am Herzen, die Reine, dauert, misset
nicht unglücklich der Mensch sich
mit der Gottheit..."
"May, when mere trouble life,
a mensch look up [to the sky]
and say, that's how i want to be too?
Yes. As long as friendliness, the pure,
lasts near the heart,
measures not unhappy the mensch himself
with the godhood."
-
Without friendliness, it is all worthless
Heidegger quotes and comments(!) this in: "...dichterisch
wohnet der Mensch..." (Vortraege & Aufsaetze, II)
These are the things that are stronger than nuclear power.
While those damned 'Christians' do everything out of fear
for it. How faithful they are, br.
